Dillard to offer water m’gmt program

Dillard University students in New Orleans will have an opportunity this fall to prepare for water management jobs in government and the private industry with a new program being established. Dillard’s Urban Water Management Certificate Program is the first and only of its kind in Louisiana, according to a Dillard media release. The program is designed to teach students how to handle flooding, storm-water management, sinkholes, and sinking land caused by subsidence. Students will also learn how to protect cities from water-borne illnesses by providing clean and safe water to residents. (Source: NOLA.com 08/09/18)
